Default Newbie Question

I have a cig lighter and a 12v outlet in my jeep CG. I have a massager pad that I would love to use in the Jeep. The pad comes with a plug that I plug into a household outet. What would I need to put inside the Jeep to plug this in so that I can use while driving? Thanks.

12vdc/110vac power inverter. You can buy them at any auto parts store. I would plug into your accessory outlet vs. your cig. lighter. The acc. outlet is made to handle the load better.

Surge protection is built into all GOOD power inverters. Read on the box what you are buying.
